具体实施方式
为使本领域的技术人员更好地理解本申请的技术方案,下面结合附图对本申请提供的方法及装置、电子设备、计算机可读介质进行详细描述。
在下文中将参考附图更充分地描述示例实施例,但是示例实施例可以以不 同形式来体现且不应当被解释为限于本文阐述的实施例。反之,提供这些实施例的目的在于使本申请透彻和完整,并将使本领域技术人员充分理解本申请的范围。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”和“第二”是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以使这里描述的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的内容以外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”或“具有”及其任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
除非另外限定,否则本文所用的所有术语(包括技术和科学术语)的含义与本领域普通技术人员通常理解的含义相同。还将理解,诸如那些在常用字典中限定的那些术语应当被解释为具有与其在相关技术以及本申请的背景下的含义一致的含义,且将不解释为具有理想化或过度形式上的含义,除非本文明确如此限定。
由于AAU相对于BBU的距离较远(一般两者之间的距离在几公里,甚至几十公里),导致BBU发送的协议切换指令无法正常传输到AAU,使得AAU无法正常识别BBU当前所使用的前传接口协议,AAU和BBU之间无法正常建立通信连接,进而使得通信网络信号无法正常传输给用户,用户体验度差。
本申请的第一实施方式涉及一种协议切换方法。该方法用于自适应通信环境的变化,使射频设备的接口协议与BBU自动匹配,以减少建立通信连接时间,提升用户体验度。
下面对本实施方式中的方法的实现细节进行具体的说明,以下内容仅为方便理解本方案的实现细节,并非实施本方案的必须。
图1为本实施方式中的协议切换方法的流程图,该方法可应用于AAU或射频设备中。该方法可包括如下步骤。
在步骤101中,获取本端的物理层的协议运行状态。
其中,协议运行状态表示本端设备(例如AAU或射频设备)的前端接口协议是否与对端设备的前端接口协议一致,例如,本端设备所使用的前端接口协议是CPRI协议,而对端设备所使用的也是CPRI协议,则表示本端设备的前端 接口协议与对端设备的前端接口协议是一致的,否则,若本端设备所使用的前端接口协议是CPRI协议,而对端设备所使用的前端接口协议是eCPRI协议,则表示本端设备的前端接口协议与对端设备的前端接口协议是不一致的。在一些实施例中,协议运行状态包括但不限于同步状态和失步状态。
具体地,不仅可以使用同步状态来表征本端设备的物理层与对端设备的物理层的一致性信息,还可以使用失步状态来表征本端设备的物理层与对端设备的物理层的一致性信息。以上对于协议运行状态的说明,仅是举例说明,其他未举例的协议运行状态也在本申请的保护范围之内,在此不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,协议运行状态是基于本端的物理层的同步标识获得。
需要说明的是,本端的物理层的同步标识用于表示本端设备的物理层是否与对端设备的物理层同步。例如,当AAU的物理层与BBU的物理层已完成同步时,则该同步标识表示为同步状态。具体地,可使用一个比特来表示该状态,例如将该同步标识置位为1;否则,当AAU的物理层与BBU的物理层没有同步时,则该同步标识表示为非同步状态,例如可将该同步标识置位为0。
其中的本端的物理层的同步标识,表征的是本端设备自身的物理层的状态,而非对端设备发送的同步配置信息,通过本端设备的自检,可获取到该同步标识,进而确定本端的物理层的协议运行状态。使得在本端设备没有接收到对端设备发送的同步配置信息时,仍可以自适应的与对端设备进行接口协议的对接,节省两端之间建立通信连接的时间,提升效率。
在步骤102中,基于协议运行状态判断本端的物理层是否与对端的物理层同步。
需要说明的是,本端设备的前端接口协议的初始状态可设置为一个默认的协议运行状态,例如运行在CPRI协议下。当本端设备与对端设备进行对接时,本端设备需要判断本端的物理层是否与对端的物理层同步,当本端的物理层与对端的物理层已经同步时,表示本端设备的前端接口协议与对端设备的前端接口协议相匹配;当本端的物理层与对端的物理层没有同步时,表示本端设备的前端接口协议与对端设备的前端接口协议不匹配。
例如,当AAU需要与BBU进行对接时,若AAU的物理层没有与BBU的物理层完成正常的同步,则表示AAU的前端接口协议与BBU的前端接口协议匹配,即两者所使用的前端接口协议一致;否则,若AAU的物理层没有与BBU 的物理层同步,则表示AAU的前端接口协议与BBU的前端接口协议不匹配,即两者所使用的前端接口协议不一致,可能AAU当前使用的前端接口协议为CPRI协议,而BBU当前所使用的前端接口协议为eCPRI协议。
在步骤103中,在本端的物理层与对端的物理层未同步时,进行接口协议的切换。
需要说明的是,在本端的物理层与对端的物理层未同步时,表示本端设备的前端接口协议与对端设备的前端接口协议不匹配,两者无法建立正常的通信连接,需要进行接口协议的切换,即将本端设备的前端接口协议切换为对端设备所使用的前端接口协议,以使两者能够使用相同的接口协议进行通信。
例如,当AAU需要与BBU进行对接时,而AAU通过检测获知,AAU当前使用的前端接口协议为CPRI协议,而BBU所使用的前端接口协议为eCPRI协议,故AAU需要将其前端接口协议切换为eCPRI协议,使得AAU与BBU的前端接口协议一致,从而使AAU与BBU同时使用eCPRI协议建立通信连接。
在本实施方式中,获取本端的物理层的协议运行状态;基于协议运行状态判断本端的物理层是否与对端的物理层同步;在本端的物理层与对端的物理层未同步时,进行接口协议的切换,以适应通信环境的变化,减少了建立通信连接时间,节省了时间成本;而且,本端设备不需要事先获取到对端设备的协议配置信息,就能够自动与对端设备进行协议对接,避免了无法接收到对端设备的协议配置信息而无法建立通信连接的情况,从而减少了资源浪费,提升了用户体验度。
本申请的第二实施方式涉及一种协议切换方法。第二实施方式与第一实施方式大致相同,主要区别之处在于:在进行接口协议的切换之后,还需要重新获得本端的物理层的协议运行状态,并在本端的物理层与对端的物理层不能同步时切换接口协议,直至本端的物理层与对端的物理层完成同步为止;保持最后一次切换后的协议。
图2为本实施方式中协议切换方法的流程图,该方法可应用于阵列天线单元或射频设备中。该方法可包括如下步骤。
在步骤201中,获取本端的物理层的协议运行状态。
在步骤202中,基于协议运行状态判断本端的物理层是否与对端的物理层 同步。
在步骤203中,在本端的物理层与对端的物理层未同步时,进行接口协议的切换。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的步骤201~203,与第一实施方式中的步骤101~103的内容相同,在此不再赘述。
在步骤204中,重新获得本端的物理层的协议运行状态,并在本端的物理层与对端的物理层不能同步时切换接口协议,直至本端的物理层与对端的物理层完成同步为止;保持最后一次切换后的协议。
需要说明的是,当本端设备的物理层未与对端设备的物理层正常同步时,需要对接口协议一直进行切换,直到本端设备的物理层与对端设备的物理层同步时,才结束接口协议的切换,同时,将最后一次切换后的接口协议保存至本端设备中,以使本端设备能够使用该接口协议与对端设备进行对接,进而完成两者之间的通信连接,其中的对端设备可以是另一个本端设备,也可以是基带处理单元等控制设备,以上对于对端设备仅是举例说明,在此不做限制,其他任何能够通过前端接口协议与本端设备建立通信的网元都在本申请的保护范围内,在此不在赘述。
例如,当本端设备中存在多个接口协议时,例如,接口协议1、接口协议2、接口协议3等,若检测到本端设备的物理层未与对端设备的物理层同步时,则会在以上多个接口协议之间进行循环切换,即从接口协议1切换至接口协议2,或,从接口协议2切换至接口协议3,或,从接口协议3切换至接口协议1,直至本端设备的物理层与对端设备的物理层完成同步时,即该接口协议与对端设备的接口协议相匹配时,才结束该接口协议的切换。若最后一次切换后的接口协议为接口协议3,则后续使用接口协议3与对端设备进行对接,已完成两者之间的通信连接。
在本实施方式中,通过对本端的物理层的协议运行状态的判断,若确定本端的物理层与对端的物理层无法同步,则本端设备循环对接口协议进行切换,直到本端设备的物理层与对端设备的物理层同步为止,然后本端设备会保存并使用最后一次切换后的接口协议,与对端设备建立通信连接,使得本端设备不需要事先获取到对端设备的协议配置信息,就能够自动与对端设备进行协议对接,避免了无法接收到对端设备的协议配置信息而无法建立通信连接的情况, 从而减少了资源浪费,提升了用户体验度。
本申请的第三实施方式涉及一种协议切换方法。第二实施方式与第一实施方式大致相同,主要区别之处在于:在获取到最后一次切换后的接口协议之后,还需要实时监测协议运行状态。
如图3所示的协议切换方法,该方法具体包括以下步骤。
在步骤301中,获取本端的物理层的协议运行状态。
在步骤302中,基于协议运行状态判断本端的物理层是否与对端的物理层同步。
若确定本端的物理层与对端的物理层没有同步,则执行步骤303;否则,若确定本端的物理层与对端的物理层已完成同步,则执行步骤304。
在步骤303中,进行接口协议的切换。
在步骤304中,结束接口协议的切换;并保持最后一次切换后的接口协议。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的步骤301~304,与第二实施方式中的步骤201~204的内容相同,在此不再赘述。
在步骤305中,实时监测本端的物理层的协议运行状态。
需要说明的是,在完成接口协议的切换后,还需要启动定时器,定时检测本端的物理层的协议运行状态,即本端的物理层是否一直与对端设备保持同步。使得本端设备能够实时跟随对端设备的接口协议,以保证两者之间的接口协议保持一致。
在一些实施例中,在监测到本端的物理层的协议运行状态发生变化时,返回步骤301。
当本端设备监测到物理层的协议运行状态发生变化时,即感知到对端设备的接口协议发生了变化时,本端设备能够迅速从监控状态脱离,重新再执行步骤301,进而对接口协议进行判断,以适应对端设备的接口协议的动态变化,实现接口协议的自适应。
在本实施方式中,通过对本端的物理层的协议运行状态的实时监测,保证了本端设备与对端设备之间的接口协议能够实时保持一致,使得本端设备能够自适应的与对端设备建立通信连接,以保证通信连接的实时更新,避免了无法接收到对端设备的协议配置信息而无法建立通信连接的情况,从而减少了资源 浪费,提升了用户体验度。
上面各种方法的步骤划分,只是为了描述清楚,实现时可以合并为一个步骤或者对某些步骤进行拆分,分解为多个步骤,只要包括相同的逻辑关系,都在本专利的保护范围内;对算法中或者流程中添加无关紧要的修改或者引入无关紧要的设计,但不改变其算法和流程的核心设计都在该专利的保护范围内。
本申请的第四实施方式涉及一种协议切换装置,该装置的具体实施可参见第一实施方式的相关描述,重复之处不再赘述。值得说明的是,本实施方式中的装置的具体实施也可参见第二或第三实施方式的相关描述,但不局限于以上三个实施例,其他未说明的实施例也在本装置的保护范围之内。
如图4为本实施方式中的协议切换装置的方框图,该装置主要包括:获取模块401用于获取本端的物理层的协议运行状态;判断模块402用于基于协议运行状态判断本端的物理层是否与对端的物理层同步;切换模块403用于在本端的物理层与对端的物理层未同步时,进行接口协议的切换。
在一些实施例中,协议切换装置还包括监控模块404,该监控模块404用于实时监测协议运行状态。
在一些具体实现中,图5为一个示例性网元连接关系图,具体地,是基带处理单元501(BBU)与阵列天线单元502(AAU)之间的连接关系图,其中,BBU和AAU之间的最大距离为40公里,当BBU与AAU之间的距离越远,在AAU侧要想获取到BBU的接口协议配置信息的难度就越大。
具体地,图6为另一个示例性网元连接关系图,其中,AAU包含有判断模块402和切换模块403,并且AAU与BBU之间可通过不同的前端接口协议进行通信,例如,AAU通过CPRI协议或eCPRI协议与BBU进行通信。当判断模块402获取到AAU的物理层上报的同步状态时,可对该同步状态进行判断,若确定AAU的物理层与BBU的物理层已完成了同步,则表示此时AAU所使用的前端接口协议与BBU所使用的前端接口协议一致,无需进行接口协议的切换;否则,若确定AAU的物理层与BBU的物理层没有完成同步,则表示此时AAU所使用的前端接口协议与BBU所使用的前端接口协议不一致,因此,AAU需要进行接口协议的切换,即将AAU的前端接口协议由CPRI协议切换至eCPRI协议,或,将AAU的前端接口协议由eCPRI协议切换至CPRI协议。使得AAU 能够保证自身的前端接口协议类型与BBU的前端接口协议保持一致,而无需再通过其他方式获得BBU的协议配置信息,可以使用切换后的前端接口协议与BBU直接进行前端接口的对接,并尝试与BBU的物理层进行同步,最终当AAU的物理层与BBU的物理层同步时,则表示AAU当前所使用的前端接口协议与BBU所使用的前端接口协议一致。
在一个具体实现中,AAU还可以是如图7所示的,由判断模块402、切换模块403和监控模块404组成。图7中的网元连接关系与图6的网元连接关系一致,只是在AAU中还包括监控模块404,该监控模块404用于对AAU所使用的前端接口协议的协议类型进行实时监控,当其前端接口协议发生变化时,AAU能够迅速从监控状态脱离,进入到判断模块402中进行判断,使得AAU能够采用盲检技术,即无需事先通过其他方式获得BBU的协议配置信息,就可以直接与BBU进行前端接口协议的对接,即实现前端接口的自适应。AAU与BBU之间的距离越远,以上检测方法的优越性越突出,缩短了BBU与AAU之间的连接时间。
在本实施方式中,通过判断模块基于物理层的协议运行状态判断本端的物理层是否与对端的物理层同步,使得切换模块在两端设备的物理层未同步时进行接口协议的切换,以适应通信环境的变化,节省时间成本;而且本端设备不需要事先获取到对端设备的协议配置信息,就能够自动与对端设备进行协议对接,避免了无法接收到对端设备的协议配置信息而无法建立通信连接的情况,从而减少了资源浪费,提升了用户体验度。
